Gourmet Restaurant
With the French doors wide open, the sea breeze flows into the dining room and onto the plates, bringing with it the flavors of the sea. Located right on the oceanfront, in an elegant, characterful building on the embankment in Les Sables-d’Olonne, La Pilotine charms with its family-friendly atmosphere, its decor accented with colorful seaweed, and its simple, welcoming service. The warm and well-designed dining room makes the most of the available space, though this does mean the tables are somewhat close together. Offered at €27 for lunch, the full menu provides excellent value for money and showcases authentic, expertly prepared seasonal cuisine. The shrimp ravioli, topped with a creamy langoustine sauce, kick off the meal with finesse. The perfectly cooked salmon, served with mashed potatoes, beurre blanc, and pesto, demonstrates the chef’s mastery of cooking techniques. The dessert, a small pot of chocolate, concludes the meal on a indulgent and comforting note. The concise and well-curated wine list highlights wines from the Fiefs Vendéens region. To further explore Chef Philippe Pleuen’s cuisine, the €41 set menu offers the chance to savor the house specialty: warm oysters stuffed with langoustines and mushrooms.
